Lemon Kale

Sweet, tangy, and as close to raw as you could want kale to be! Serves 1.

Ingredients

1 or 2 kale leaves, organic

3 mushrooms such as baby bella (optional)

3 tbsp oil, such as extra virgin olive

2 tbsp lemon juice (1/2 lemon), fresh-squeezed organic

1 tbsp raw agave nectar or other liquid sweetener

1/4 tsp thyme

salt, pepper to taste

Directions

Rinse and chop the kale as the steamer water is heating on medium. (Stems can be included; steaming softens them as well.) When steam rises, add the kale and cover. Cook no more than 5 minutes so the kale is tender but stil holds its shape.

Meanwhile, cut up the mushrooms and combine the other ingredients. When kale is done, put it in a serving bowl and immediately mix in the dressing and mushrooms and enjoy.
